Citizenship and Immigration Canada will increase other fees in the temporary resident program, effective February 6, 2014. These changes will reduce the burden on Canadian taxpayers and ensure that fees closely reflect the real cost of processing applications.

These increases include (all figures in CAD $):

$25 for study permits and renewals;
$5 increase for work permits and renewals;
$25 increase for extensions to remain in Canada as a visitor;
$100 as the maximum fee for a family to apply for TRVs; and
$15 as the maximum work permit fee for a group of performing artists and their staff.
